Standard thread-forming fasteners with a 60° flank angle create excess debris when driven into low-ductile materials. They can easily exceed the ductility limits of the material, causing damage to the formed threads.
Mag-form® fasteners are specifically designed with a broader flank angle to eliminate tapping operations while forming strong threads in conventional magnesium die-castings and similar materials. The design also minimizes debris, making Mag-form® fasteners the optimal solution for critical applications such as electronics and air bag modules.
FEATURES
► Lobular configuration
► Wide-spaced thread design
► Broad flank angle that compresses, rather than roll-form threads into the mating material
BENEFITS
► Minimizing debris generation
► Forms strong threads in materials with low ductility
► Allows multiple removals and reinsertions, unlike standard fasteners
► Easily removed and reinserted for field service
